Thank God. I live next to Marxist Virginia. Only thing good about GOP in charge is they stop the madness; but don’t have any plan to correct it.
A win for the GOP is a win for America!
Republicans won Virginia because McAuliffe ran a shitty campaign and Youngkin reached out to the working class by promising to get rid of the sales tax on groceries and raise the standard income tax deduction. If he focused entirely on immigration and Critical Race Theory – as I’m sure many Republicans wanted, it is very possible that the Republicans would have lost, despite how poorly McAuliffe campaigned.
He still would have won. Probably even won bigger.
